Need advice to keep indoor exercises interesting? - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

It is snowing again so I need to use the indoor trainer and treadmill. Truely the most boring thing I can think of. Any advice about an MP3 player to buy, and good music that will help to keep me pumped up enough to peddle?

definately get some music going to keep your mind away from thinking about other things. The type of music depends on your taste, while im working out i go for classic rock songs like ac/dc

Arrange your exercise equipment where you can also watch TV.
Time will go faster if you are thinking of something else while exercising.

I use itunes & have faster songs in a workout folder. Dance hits like a club would play is faster paced for longer periods & helps.

Hope some of these help. Don't know your taste in Music. My ipod has a workout strap & a clip so I don't have to worry about dropping it.
Good luck & good for you to stay on track with your goals!
P.S. We joined the YMCA & it helped a lot!
